Not your father's Quick Check in Union

UNION — Quick Chek began 45 years ago as a sales outlet for dairy produced by a New Jersey farm. Today’s Quick Chek is not your father’s Quick Chek.

Corporate statistics reveal that 69 percent of its customers buy coffee at Quick Chek’s 128-store chain, which includes its 30th store at 1090 Stuyvesant Avenue in Union Center that has been open nearly 40 years.

And the convenience store chain that outsells all others in cups of coffee sold per store intends to pad its lead. According to the corporate marketing department of Quick Chek, two new coffee flavors are debuting this week for a limited time only: caramel and white chocolate caramel cappuccino, along with a new cinnamon roll hot chocolate.

But Quick Chek is much more than 10 varieties of coffee every day.

The daily menu includes up to four varieties of soup, healthy breakfast options including hot oatmeal with toppings and an egg white and turkey sausage sandwich, tuna salad wheat wrap, garden salad, and $2.99 submarines. This week Quick Chek is also rolling out its original toasted Italian sub, jalepeno ranch turkey club, signature recipe cheesesteaks, and Tuscan veggie melt for a three-month stint.

James Lowrie is the store leader of the Union Center Quick Chek, which is open 24 hours, seven days a week. Phone: (908) 686-9677.
